Summary

Lincoln School for the Arts is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Marrero, Louisiana, with 481 students enrolled. The school is part of the Jefferson Parish school district, which is ranked 73 out of 118 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being located within a few miles of several higher-performing schools, such as Congetta Trippe Janet Elementary, Laureate Academy Charter, and Ray St. Pierre Academy for Advanced Studies, Lincoln School for the Arts consistently underperforms compared to the Jefferson Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 32% of Lincoln students were proficient or better in Math compared to 52% in Jefferson Parish and 60% statewide. Similarly, in English Language Arts, 52% of Lincoln students were proficient compared to 62% in Jefferson Parish and 70% statewide.

Lincoln School for the Arts also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.4% to 24.8% in recent years, which is significantly above the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has had dropout rates ranging from 3.3% to 8.4% in recent years, which is concerning for an elementary school. These issues, along with the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, suggest the need for a comprehensive, data-driven improvement plan to address the core challenges and provide a high-quality education for its students.
